[omc-boats] Model Clarification

Your right Phil. I messed up the Johnson/Evinrude model relationships.

The 16-foot "cab forward" models are Evinrude Explorer and Johnson Front
Runners and were only offered as 1970 models and only with Buick V6 155 hp.

For 1969 Johnson had two 19-footers. The open-bow Surfer which was powered
by the 307 Chevy V8 (210 hp) and the 4-cyl 120 hp "191." The 191 was also
open-bow like the Surfer but was aimed at fisherman and and open rear deck
designed to accommodate custom "fighting" chairs. Evinrude had the
closed-bow Sport Fisherman 120 and the sliding-hatch Rogue II 210.

In 1970, there were three 19-footers: 1) The open-bow V8: Johnson Surfer
(Evinrude Dolphin 210); 2) The sliding hatch deck, V8: Johnson Trade Wind
(Evinrude Rogue II) and 3) The fold-flat windshield, closed-deck 120 hp
Johnson Tide Rider (Evinrude Sport Fisherman 120) similar to the original
66-67 Rogue (I).

Sorry for causing any confusion.
